A key provision requires reporting lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement prior to any incident to potentially avoid liability.

Quick Summary

California's SB505 proposes mandatory gun owner insurance and strict civil liability for firearm owners, making them responsible for damages or injuries from their firearm's use, even if stolen. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor, but reporting a firearm as lost or stolen *before* an incident can exempt the owner from liability.
